Did you know… that the only two signers of the Declaration of Independence who later became President of the United States were John Adams and Thomas Jefferson?

"The essence of America - that which unites us - is not ethnicity, or nationality, or religion. It is an idea - and what an idea it is: that you can come from humble circumstances and do great things. That it doesn't matter where you came from, but where you are going." Condoleezza Rice

Cpl Douglas Singleton is a Marine veteran who served his country honorably in Desert Storm. He was the first veteran that Roots for Boots assisted. He suffers from PTSD and writes poetry as not only therapy for himself, but hopes that his work will help fellow veterans and others suffering from this "invisible wound". Roots for Boots is honored to be able to assist Cpl Singleton to print and distribute his poetry books at no charge to him. We continue to serve this hero and are honored to provide him an outlet for his poems that have already touched the hearts of many. His 2016 edition is now available.

God Blessed America

America is blessed by God’s holy grace rising above whatever we may face

God’s always there to see our heroes through no matter where they go or whatever they must do

Christ died to make men holy our soldiers die to make men free we honor the great sacrifice they made for you and me

Thanks to our brave warriors who serve us faithfully each day we still have the freedom to worship and pray

As long as we are faithful the Lord will remain on our side giving us the courage to never run or hide

Because this is God’s chosen land forever protected by His mighty hand we still are the land of the free because of the brave but only through blessings and mercy God gave

An American Warrior

An American warrior is filled with truth and love and strength from the Lord above

Always there to make things right promoting peace to avoid a fight

Going above and beyond when duty calls honoring every brother that falls

An American warrior is truly your friend fighting for you to the very end

Taking Freedom For Granted

We should honor every single warrior especially those who fell because those brave men been through a living hell

But it’s so easy to go about our day like we do and never even think about what they’ve been through

We just take our freedom for granted each and every day as another warrior just gets blown away

So many people say well he chose to go and fight it’s ignorant people just like that who don’t know wrong from right

It takes a brave person to stand up for what is right but it takes an even braver one to leave their home and fight

So it’s about time that you wake up and see that many paid a very high price just to keep you free

Men of Honor

Ever since I fought in the war I respect those who have died for us even more

I now understand the great hardships one must endure and that our country and freedom are worth fighting for

I now understand the sacrifices of every man called to war and how those who died even sacrificed more

I now understand how a soldier’s family makes sacrifices too and how they wish they could be there to watch over you

I lived it and saw it with my own two eyes and it’s always sad when a soldier dies and it’s also sad when his mother cries

I may not know all the men that died but I do know they were men of honor and pride

Becoming a Leader

Only Christ knows my real deal some days I don’t even know how I feel

I need strength from God each day and I also need Him to show me the way

I’ll remain with God at all costs because I’m like a child that’s weak and lost

But I know if I continue to do what’s right He will guide me to the light

Then the Lord will give me all the strength I need to no longer follow but finally lead
